Village Hall, Honeoye Falls, New York, March 2022 Honeoye Falls Village Hall, 5 East Street, Honeoye Falls, New York, March 2022. An 1886 work of the Rochester-based firm of Fay & Dryer, this handsome brick edifice stands on the shore of Honeoye Creek and is a contributing property to the NRHP-listed Honeoye Falls Village Historic District. The stout massing, the rough texture of the exterior, the profusion of round- and segmentally-arched windows, and the Classical detailing (note the projecting crown on the second-story window above the entrance, with its ends styled into volutes) are all indicators of the Romanesque Revival style of architecture that was popular at the time. The robust corner tower, with the "Iron Fireman" sculpture adorning the top of its pyramidal roof, was an 1888 addition intended for the fire department with which the village government shared the building until 1975; its original purpose was as a place to hang firehoses out to dry. In addition, the second floor contained a large auditorium whose stage played host to a wide variety of fundraising dances, theatrical and vaudeville performances, and even movie screenings.

Row houses in South Main Street Historic District, Geneva, New York, February 2022 As seen in February 2022: an elegant and well-preserved procession of row houses lines the east side of South Main Street in Geneva, New York, part of the South Main Street Historic District. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, the district encompasses a roughly mile-long stretch of its namesake thoroughfare running southward from downtown Geneva, along a high bluff overlooking Seneca Lake. It contains 142 historic structures and properties, most of which date from the early to mid-19th century and are representative of the contemporaneously popular Federal and Greek Revival architectural styles. Indeed, its historic significance as stated in the documentation connected with its listing on the registry comes not only from the fact that South Main Street "has been acclaimed by travellers since 1800 as a model residential district without parallel in the Finger Lakes area and one of the most consistent districts of its size in New York State" in terms of the integrity of its historic fabric, but also because it includes several buildings that are architecturally notable in their own right, above all a pair of Richard Upjohn-designed churches.

Civil War Memorial, Elton Park, Bloomfield, New York, January 2022 Designed by sculptor James Goodwin Batterson, the Civil War Monument at the center of Elton Park in the village of Bloomfield, New York is a copy of the Deerfield Soldiers' Monument in Massachusetts: that is, a 45-foot granite obelisk topped by a figure of a Union soldier gazing vigilantly to the south so as to repel any invader, and engraved with a dedication "to the memory of her sons who died in defence <i>(sic)</i> of the Union" as well as those men's names, dates and places of death, 39 in all. Dedicated in 1867, it's one of the earliest-ever artistic depictions of an American Civil War combatant. The four cannons surrounding the monument, two of which are seen here, were originally genuine Civil War artillery pieces, but were replaced later with replicas. As seen in January 2022.
